Silversand Cardi

Silversand Cardi

You saw me cut it out, now you get to see the finished product: the Silversand Cardigan! I named it Silversand because of the color of the fabric and the metallic threads running through it.

This was a really fast project and I’m quite happy with the way it turned out – I wouldn’t change a thing! Also, this cardi is quite warm, despite being sleeveless; definitely good for those early spring or late summer nights with a bit of bite in the air.

The pattern I made is a good one for chunky knits with good drape, because it minimizes the amount of bulk covering the front of the body, so I may make a tutorial on how to draft this pattern using your own measurements (or tried-and-true pattern, or favorite shirt). We’ll see!

In the meantime, though, if I decide to make a light weight drape cardigan, I will probably follow the Light Drape Cardigan tutorial by Bored and Crafty. It’s perfect! (And an instant gratification project, too!)
